They already have some intense chemistry!

I love reading both POVs.  Little do they know they are each thinking the same things ;o)

One of them needs to take a chance and push thing forward a little bit!

Nice confession, Edward!

sweet.

MMmmmm yummy.

This was a great ending.  You really did a great job of capturing Edward.  I loved his panic in the closet when Bella said "fine"... I am confident he really was panicking.  Can I suggest a sequel?  I would love to read your version of what happened after NM ended but before Eclipse started.  Those first few days, nights. weeks.. I mean, Bella must have been suffering from some serious abandonment issues whenever they weren't physically together and I'd love to read more about how Edward went about rebuilding her trust in him.  Just a thought..... Great job!!

"The moment of truth, be it today or in 60 years, would always have been the moment of her death: would I ever have been strong enough to bear it?"  W.O.W.  This is SO true.  I can 100% believe that he had this thought during Bella's transformation.  This was really good.  I thoroughly enjoyed reading it.  I can't wait to read the next part.  Great, great job!

Author's Response: Thanks! Edward displays a lot of certainty, but it always seemed to me that he wasn't always as sure as he projected. Happy to see this has some resonance.

I am really enjoying this story.  Its a great insight into Eddwards mind during Bella's transition.  Its great that he's so conflicted, self loathing because of her pain, anxious for the transformation to be complete, and still hesitant of her reactions.... so in canon.  I am looking forward to the next chapter!!!  Please keep it going!!!  For all that is good in this world, keep it going!!!!

Author's Response: I try to keep things a close fit; I rewrite parts that sound out of character. So I'm glad you thought it wasn't too off! I have to figure out whether to continue when Bella wakes, though... because Stephenie already wrote the content, there is much less wiggle room!

Oh. My.  Goodness.  This is SO freaking fantastic.  I can feel the love, the affection, the attraction between them when I read this.  I beg of you, BEG of you, not to stop.  PLEASE, for all that is good in this world, take us through their first night together.  You capture Edward so well.  I know that first day, he had to by dying to get her alone.... and all his emotions when Bella confronted Jacob.  Oh please, PLEASE continue.  You are doing SO well.  Its hypnotic!  I am addicted!!! 

Author's Response: Oh, he's dying to do a few things, but whether I can do that and not break continuity with BD... :: bangs head on table:: I'll try.

Like always, this was fascinating.  I am sure, as calm as Edward appeared to be in the book throughout  all of this, underneath it all, he was anxious to get her alone and in bed!  He was always selfish with her, I am certain he jsut wanted to finally really BE with her unrestrained.  Of course, he always put her needs and wishes before his!  I love this perspective so much.  You are doing a fantastic job with this story.  I am eager to read more!!!

You write this story brilliantly.  You have really tapped into the mind of Edward Cullen.  It is such a joy to read.  Excellent job!

This was a great chapter!  I loved reading the "behind the scenes" conversations of BD.  This story is hypnotic.  Its so wonderful to be Edward's POV of these emotional times.  I cna't wait to read more!  Wonderful job!
